Very nice work on your engine and interior. I really like the color/tone of your wood interior! The blonde wood look is excellent.

Bartekk,
   Welcome to our Forum, you bring very impressive work to the screen! Your engine looks more like a larger 1:32 Scale given the excellent detail and the wood effect and colour is really pretty to look at, keep those updates coming.
Cheers,
Lance

The wrapped insulation on the engine is a nice touch, looking good.

Splendid work on the interior of the Albatros so far Bartekk, I really like the darker wood colour, it is very impressive, and your engine is brilliant. You are doing a great job on the base, the model will look fantastic sitting on the timber planks.

  Bartek,
Your base is something else my friend. The hard stand planking is an excellent touch. What type of wood did you use?
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Nice work on the base Bartek, will look very effective with the Albie perched on it :)
How goes the Albie itself?

Thank You ;D

Planking is just balsa wood painted with washes from different oil paints. Base like this is a really relaxing job, next time I will make a SBS.

Albie is OK, but I'm not satisfied with work on fuselage. Will show when improve that ::)

Hi, BartekK,

I have this in my loft, so I'm interested to see how your build progresses. It looks fine so far. Good luck!

Hello again.

After a loooong break I returned to this one. Here a little update with fuselage painting.

Fuselage fatigue looks to hard but I belive it's issue of gloss coat and it will get better looking after matt or satin.

Very nice work, Bartek.  How did you do the "dents" in the fuselage?
I'm anxious to see your next updates.

Cheers,
